Debut album, “Out Of Phase”, out now!
Blending metal, grunge metal, and alternative metal, PHASERIP crafts a soundscape reminiscent of Faith No More, System of a Down, and Soundgarden, while carving out its own heavy, melodic, and cinematic identity. The album’s narrative follows a man ripped into an alternate reality, exploring themes of isolation, displacement, and identity, perfectly captured by the project’s mascot, ‘Phaser Phil,’ an outsider wandering a distorted mirror of our world.
PHASERIP is led by Fresno songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jawsh Willis, who performs most guitars, bass, and keyboards. The core lineup spans the globe: drummer Cezary Borawski and vocalist Oscar Klassen record from Poland (Oscar originally from Mexico), forming the backbone of the project’s sonic intensity.
Out of Phase features an international roster of guest musicians, including Finnish death-metal vocalist Topias Jokipii, Algerian extreme-metal vocalist Redouane Aoumeur, award-winning Japanese guitarist Preston Murdock, Fresno musicians Matthew Banwart and Grayson Nolan, and former bandmates Trevor Bryant, Joey Ayala, and Daniel C. Wallace. Produced and mixed by Facundo at Sweep Blast Studios in Argentina, the album delivers crushing drop-tuned riffs, soaring hooks, and atmospheric storytelling.
PHASERIP also pays tribute to a personal hero with a cover of Black Sabbath’s “After All (The Dead),” honoring the legendary Ronnie James Dio.
Jawsh Willis on the release: “Out of Phase follows a man who slips into a reality where no one knows him. It’s a metaphor for the way so many of us feel—out of place, unseen, and searching for meaning in a world that doesn’t feel like ours. If you’ve ever woken up in the wrong universe, this album will feel like home.”
